114 A woman is a woman who pleases herself

"Daughter? Oh, my God! Elena......"

Melissa's eyes widened suddenly: "Rupert wants to marry Elena to Old William's family?" Marry Los? ”

"Of course not! How could it be Loes? Not to mention that Los is still so young, even if Los grows up, it will not be Rupert's turn to worry. The one he wanted his daughter to marry was William Sr.'s second son......"

"Oh, Grace!" Melissa immediately called out the name of Loos's other brother: "Grace's words...... Yesterday when I went to deliver the ploughing oxen, I saw him in the lord's barn, and Grace was already looking good at taking care of the cattle! The son-in-law your brother wants, it's pretty good......"

"yes, it's good, it's good, it's good......"

Chattering like this, Richard suddenly showed a wry smile on his face: "The problem is that it's so good!" On the contrary, it is also troublesome! ”

"What's wrong?" Melissa asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

"It's not just my brother who has his eye on Grace......"

Richard sighed: "Actually, there have been many people in the village who want to marry their daughter to Grace recently. ”

Melissa had never heard her husband mention it, so she hurriedly asked, "Are there a lot of people?" Who are they? ”

"Many, just what I know now, are Clarence, Archibald, Bartlet, and ......," Richard pronounced the names of several people from similar backgrounds to his own, and then solemnly pronounced the last name: "Temples." ”

"Oh my God! Handlebar style! Melissa covered her mouth and gasped.

"yes, it's the handlebar." Richard's face was also very solemn: "Melissa, we are really lucky! ”

Melissa, of course, understood what her husband meant by "lucky".

Like the cowherd, the handlebar type is also a technical occupation, and the post allowance from the territory is secondary, and when the villagers want to be helped, or want not to be troubled, they often have to pay a smile with both hands.

Such an advantage is naturally something to envy for the ordinary freedmen of Ecrane's Village, to be able to get close to the craftsmen.

And his family, as early as two or three years ago, had already negotiated a marriage with the current cowherd, the old William's family, which is really extremely lucky!

Otherwise, at this time, Wu Qingchen's eldest brother, Itra really can't worry about a family like himself, and he is likely to be like Grace and enter the field of vision of other craftsman families in the village.

Thinking of this, some of the often worrying thoughts of the recent past made Melissa can't help but ask: "Richard, there won't be any accidents in the matter of Yolanda, right?" ”

"Ahem!" Richard coughed heavily, and Melissa, who came back to her senses, looked in the direction of Richard's gaze, and immediately saw that her daughter's right hand had been pierced with an iron needle with a bloody mark.

"Oops!" Melissa hurriedly walked over, "Yolanda, are you alright?" ”

"It's okay, Mother, I'm fine." Yolanda turned her face, lowered her head, and replied in a whisper.

"Look at you!" Richard glared at his wife fiercely and said loudly, "I've said it many times!" After so many years of old neighborhood, don't you know old William? I'll tell you again! Old William has told me several times in person: the marriage of Idra and Yolanda will definitely not, absolutely not, and will never change! ”

"I ......," Melissa was a little aggrieved, "Am I not worried about Yolanda?" ”

"What are you worried about? What do you need to worry about? ”

Richard angrily pointed to the two clay pots on the wall: "How many times have you turned over the beans that Idra sent two days ago?" Didn't you also think about what Idra had said when you turned the beans? ”

"Okay, okay, I was wrong! I shouldn't have asked ......."

At this time, Melissa had already walked to her daughter's side, she held her daughter's right hand and helped wipe the blood, "Yolanda, do you remember what Idra said?" ”

"When the autumn harvest comes, get married." Yolanda replied softly.

"When the autumn harvest comes, get married." Melissa repeated softly, and patted her daughter's palm again: "It was my mistake, I shouldn't have asked like that, Yolanda, you can rest assured and wait to get married." ”

"Hmm." Yolanda replied softly.

"I'll sew it too......"

Melissa let go of her daughter's palm, and was just about to pick up another coat, when she suddenly remembered something crucial: "Oops, Richard, the handlebar style has taken a fancy to Grace, why didn't you tell your brother just now?" ”

"He ......" the syllables that Richard had just spat out were immediately drowned out by Melissa's ensuing series of questions.

"Gee, you don't want your brother to do the work in the fields, do you? Gee, you don't want your brother to let the bees bite, do you? Richard, we can't do that! When the time comes, your brother will work in vain and be bitten by bees again, and finally find out that we have lied to him, and he will definitely blame us! Also, now that we have the beans that Idra has delivered, and we can often borrow the strong cattle from the village, we can already live a good life! Don't do this, Richard, go tell your brother! In case ......"

"Enough!" "Shut up!" "Say no more!"

Richard yelled several times before finally calming Melissa down.

"Who said I wanted to take advantage of Rupert?"

Richard's face was full of tears and laughter: "Do you think Rupert doesn't know about this?" The handlebar style took a fancy to Grace, or Rupert himself told me! ”

"Really? Is your brother really that clear? Melissa said in disbelief, "In that case, why do you want to work with us in exchange places?" There are craftsmen to marry, is it still possible for old William to choose her daughter? ”

"Humph! Of course, the object of marriage, the family is very important, but you can't just look at whether you are a craftsman or not! The girl herself is the one who really gets married! ”

"How?" Melissa didn't quite understand what her husband meant.

"Melissa, you usually only worry about the work at home, and you don't know anything about the village at all, right?"

"Isn't it good to worry about the work at home?" Melissa asked rhetorically.

"Well, well......," Richard hurriedly reassured, and then continued with some pride: "My brother's daughter, your niece, Elena, is a very popular girl in the village! ”

"I think I've heard a little bit of ......"

"How can it be just a little? Elena! Don't you think...... The figure, the waist, the hands, the legs...... Elena, everything, people will like it at a glance? ”

Seeing that his wife didn't quite approve of his niece's charm, Richard continued with some dissatisfaction:

"It's summer! I just don't have a lot of clothes! I also saw Elena yesterday, tsk, that hand ......"

Richard rolled up the sleeves of his robe and patted himself
